Asian Cup history

The first ever Asian Cup was held in Hong Kong in 1956, two years after the Asian Football Confederation was founded. South Korea were the first ever winners of the tournament and they would also win the 1960 Cup as well. In 1968 the tournament expanded to include five teams and then, between 2005-2015 the tournament would include sixteen teams.

The most successful nations in Asian Cup history are Japan with four titles (1992, 2000, 2004, 2011), Saudi Arabia (1984, 1988, 1996) and Iran (1968, 1972, 1976) both have three titles, South Korea (1956, 1960) have two titles, while Israel (1964), Kuwait (1980), Australia (2015) and Iraq (2007) all have one title each.

Australia, the Socceroos, have only appeared in three Asian Cups and have already competed in two finals, losing to Japan in 2011 before defeating South Korea in the 2015 final in Sydney.
